I've never used pure Debian on a T60, but have used a couple of Debian based distros and seems everything worked just fine. I only run into problems when I try installing today's OS on a ten year old ThinkPad.
You do know you can boot the live CD to check all this stuff before you install, right?

Pretty much. You'll need to install the firmware for your wireless card if you have an Intel card (thank you lawyers...) -- but that just takes a couple clicks.

A lot of Ubuntu things apply to vanilla Debian, thinkwiki links to a nice post on Ubuntu 10.10 on the T60...
